Someone Up There Lyrics - Joe Jackson

We walked out one autumn evening 

Someone up there made a fair appear 

Colored light that caught our eyes 

And reggae music caught our ears 

We laughed as they played all the songs 

We wanted least of all to hear 

I guess that's when I knew 

That we'd be more than just good friends 

It happened just by chance 

Someone up there - someone up there makes the sun and sea 

Someone up there - someone up there brought my girl to me 

Someone up there - someone up there makes the wind and rain 

Someone up there - someone up there took her back again 

And just for once 

You can't fight back 

No messing with the hand of fate 

Oh no 

The paper ran an ad 

That had you running to the other side of town 

Working for a man I never could make out 

Who started hanging round 

Someone up there got me drinking got me drunk 

And made me put him down 

The way you looked at me I knew 

That we'd be coming to an end 

It happened just by chance 

Someone up there - someone up there makes the sun and sea 

Someone up there - someone up there brought my girl to me 

Someone up there - someone up there makes the wind and rain 

Someone up there - someone up there took her back again 

And just for once 

You can't fight back 

No messing with the hand of fate 

Oh no
